When a movie is a hit, often folks credit the director or actors. Rarely do they think about or mention the cinematographers--the folks who have amazing eyes and make the films look so amazing. A great example of how important a great cinematographer is would be in "The Third Man"...a gorgeous film where the star clearly is the guy filming the picture. This movie pasy homage to many of the great cinematographers over the last 100+ years.
I loved this film for several reasons. First, it helps you notice the work of the cinematographer...showing you and describing scenes where various innovations are used. Second, it had so many wonderful people involved with it...such as Leonard Maltin and Kevin Brownlow. Well worth seeing and lovingly made...well worth your time if you consider yourself a true cinephile.
